Engine for 5ive-B

New Member

I'm think of get the 5ive-B and wondering what engines and pipe people are going to be putting in them. This will be my first 1/5 scale and don't know much about the engines made for them. TLR is recommending their dynamites engines but don't know if they are very good. I want something that is reliable with good performance. I don't need anything with over the top mods and crazy fast.
Thanks for any advice.

I saw the Losi 5b with an ESP race ported 27cc Zenoah and X-can exhaust and it was awesome on track. Linear power band with screaming top end, picture 1/8 scale throttle response in a big buggy. The owner said the better servos made the biggest difference from his 5ive T...Something to keep in mind.
